FYI: At our conference last week I moderated a panel on the topic of organizational alpha. This is the idea that adding value to an investment portfolio goes far beyond trying to outperform the market.
Traditional alpha is a finite resource and can be fleeting. Organizational alpha is something that every individual or firm can adopt to add value through intelligent planning, cultivating the right type of culture, creating a thorough decision-making process and understanding who they are (strengths, limitations, resources, etc.).
